This is interesting. What's up with so many Supreme Court Justices
being Catholic? Another thing that seem to appeal to the Bush
Administration regarding Supreme Court Justices is a belief by the
nominee that the legislature make the laws, not judges. Also, both
Chief Justice Roberts and Judge Alito worked as Attorneys for the
Republican Administrations of President Regan and President George H W
Bush. It seem like so much of the Regan and George H W Bush
Administrations has found their way into the current Bush
Administration, including all the neocons.
#-------------------------------------------------
The Left was quick to demonise Judge Alito as an extreme conservative
who would outlaw abortion, strike down affirmative action and generally
return American life to the political Stone Age. Democrats focused
yesterday on a case in which the judge dissented from the majority of
his appeals court when it struck down a Pennsylvania law in 1991 that
required a woman seeking an abortion to notify her husband. He insisted
in his dissent that he was not voicing his own views but observing the
constitutional principle that legislatures make the laws, not judges.
It was also noted, sotto voce, that Judge Alito would bring the total
number of Catholics on the court to five, a majority on the nine-member
panel.
